A damper that must not close
Vented logs depend on an open chimney, so a damper someone closes out of habit is a real hazard. That is why makers of vented sets supply a clamp that fixes the damper partly open for good. The clamp stays with the fireplace for as long as the logs do.
Fitting that clamp, or a permanent stop where the clamp will not grip, is part of the installation, and the gap it leaves is checked against the maker's chart. Worried about someone closing the damper on gas logs in Springfield? That is handled on install day; call (904) 920-5495.
Springfield lies within Duval County. Springfield is inland.

From wood fireplace to gas logs in Springfield
-
Measure firebox and room
Firebox, chimney height and, for vent-free sets, the room are checked against the manual.
-
Clean and clamp
Soot and debris come out of the fireplace, and vented sets get their permanent damper clamp.
-
Connect and test
Once gas reaches the valve, the set is connected, leak tested and its pressure read.
-
Place logs and light
Logs and embers go where the manual shows, and we light the set with you.
Glass doors on inland fireplaces
Many fireplaces in Springfield have glass doors. With gas logs, the doors stay fully open while the set burns.
We check the frame for airflow when we measure.

Unvented logs and metal fireplaces
Code section 621.7 keeps an unvented decorative room heater out of a factory-built fireplace unless the fireplace system has been tested, listed and labeled for that use under UL 127.
One vent-free maker allows its set in a masonry fireplace or a UL 127 factory-built fireplace, but not in a factory-built unit whose own instructions say it was not tested for, or should not be used with, unvented gas logs. The fireplace's own plate and instructions are read before any vent-free set goes into a metal unit. A metal fireplace that rules vent-free out may still take a vented set its manual allows.
Water vapor from vent-free logs
Water is one product of burning gas, and with no vent it stays in the room. One vent-free maker estimates roughly an ounce of water per 1,000 Btu of input each hour, and cautions that a poorly ventilated room can grow mildew.
The same maker suggests sizing the set properly for the room, using a dehumidifier where humidity is high, and not relying on the set as the main heat. We weigh this with you, since a room that already runs damp is a poor match for vent-free logs. Rooms that already fog their windows are a poor match.
Gas pressure the set needs
Log sets have a pressure range at their inlet. One maker's vented burner needs at least 5 inches of water column on natural gas and 11 on propane for input adjustment, with maximums of 10.5 and 13, and says not to install it where the minimum is not available.
The same manual requires propane to be regulated and rules out connecting to an unregulated tank or a portable cylinder. We read the inlet pressure with the set running, and with other gas appliances in the house running too, and record the readings on the ticket.

Gas log questions from Springfield
Is a gas log install done in one visit?
Usually one visit once the fireplace is cleaned and gas is at the valve. The estimate shows the sequence and each trade's day.
Do you replace cracked gas logs?
Yes, with the set's own replacement logs placed to the manual. Call (904) 920-5495 with the set's model for your Springfield fireplace.
